If you are like me you toss a protein bar into your purse "just in case" or to have as a healthier option when out with pals and faced with 500+ calorie pastries and desserts. When traveling, it's a better option than expensive airport grub and I can't tell you how many times I've checked in to a hotel only to find that the restaurant is closed, room services has ended and my options are now a nighttime walk in an unfamiliar city to the nearest 24-hour greasy spoon (not appealing) or chips and soda from the vending machine (not an option.) My secret protein stash has saved me time and time again. I reach into my bag and voila yummy protein.

Here's a solution to keep your bars safe from getting bashed around with all that other stuff we feel the need to carry in our purse... cell phones, make-up, random dinosaurs or Matchbox cars.

A hard eyeglass case. How cool is that?!

They hold two typical size bars nicely and when I go to eat them they won't be a bashed up, hot mess. You can find them online or most Walgreens/CVS type stores carry them near the eyeglass repair kits and sunglasses. My current purse stash: Premier Protein Honey Caramel and Cookies & Cream. Premier Protein bars have a yummy chocolaty coating but bashing around in my monstrosity of a purse can do a number on them. These cases are a great solution and when you really need your portable protein it will be as pretty as the day you bought them.

For my readers that follow me on Instagram... head over for a chance for you AND an Instagram pal to win one of every flavor of Premier Protein bars.

That's a great idea. I hadn't thought of carrying a protein bar in a case. But I'm a guy and it wouldn't work very well for me. Do you think Otterbox could start making a more "guy" friendly case that I could wear on my hip next to my phone? :-P

About Me

I had my guts rearranged (aka Weight Loss Surgery, RNY gastric bypass surgery June 2006) This blog is basically me rambling about my world. I also post recipes that I've adapted to make weight loss surgery friendly.
I love to cook.
I have always loved to cook. It's my creative outlet. I was scared that having weight loss surgery would put an end to my days in the kitchen but happily it did not. I actually get to be even more creative by analyzing a favorite recipe and seeing where I can make changes to make a healthier version of a pre-op favorite.
